FUll Transparency

Our Intake and Repair Process

From the moment you walk in our door for computer service, support, or a repair, we will keep you informed of what to expect. No technical jargon – unless you want it – just straight answers, full disclosure, and our complete honesty.

01

Walk-in

No appointment necessary. Walk-in any time during business hours and we’ll greet you at the counter. If your situation is urgent – tell us – we will prioritize accordingly.

02

Free Assessment

Every customer gets a free initial assessment. We’ll review the problem with you and determine the next steps within minutes – no cost, no strings, no obligation.

03

Intake

For deeper troubleshooting, we will write up a work order and collect a non-refundable “Intake Fee” ($65+HST). This covers up to 40 minutes – enough time to fix most problems.

04

For bigger problems

If the problem is more serious or parts need to be ordered, we will provide a detailed explanation of the problem and a guaranteed quote for any additional time/parts.

05

not worth Repairing?

Your intake fee is never wasted. If your computer in not repairable or the cost of repairs isn’t feasible, you can use the intake fee as a store credit toward a New or ReCertified computer.
